The Blitz Box contains two Quarter Pounders with cheese, two medium french fries, and 20 Chicken McNuggets, reports Burger Business. The meal, which comes boxed up like a Happy Meal, is priced at $14.99.

McDonald's is testing the Blitz Box in Kansas City, Missouri, according to Burger Business.

Burger Business editor Scott Hume writes that while boxed multi-person meals have been popular at KFC for years, burger chains have been slower to try them out.

"Cold chicken is fine, but cold burgers are not," he writes. "But now the tight marketplace has convinced McDonald's to try it."

McDonald's is also testing a more expensive value menu because food price inflation has made items on the Dollar Menu less profitable, reports Leslie Patton at Bloomberg News.

Ding-dong! May I interject for a second? As a Burger Shack employee for the past three years, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you're craving White Castle, the burgers here just don't cut it. In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this mother######er down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this mother######er down! Come on, Pookie! Let's burn it, Pookie! Let's burn this mother######er down! Let's burn it down! Let's burn it! So you guys maybe should just suck it up and go to White Castle.

Interesting, in Australia we had this introduced about two years ago and it has recently come back again. I always loved this idea of the meal deal because for the AU$20 chicken family meal you get 2 McChicken Burgers, 2 x Chicken & Cheese burgers, 10 Chicken Mcbites, 2 x medium drinks\fries and 2 x small fries/fries. It's really good value for us as a regular McChicken meal is like AU$8.95
.
These meal deals are a winner for me and my friends, so I imagine these will do quite well over there as well.
